Rockler Bench Dog® Caster Brackets

Overview

With a unique two-piece design, these brackets make it easier than ever to mount casters to vertical panels. They attach through the sides of the panels for rock-solid stability and will accommodate a wide range of panel widths. Each set includes brackets and the necessary hardware to mount four casters.

Solid Hardware for a lectern in an elementary school. They need to be able to take a beating and last a long time.These were the only side mount caster brackets I could find after looking for three day that had everything I was looking for.

I want to put a new pine pantry up on casters but its "legs" are composed of the sides and front piece shaped to form legs so a normal stem caster would not work. With an L shaped metal cup on the front and a rectangular metal cup on the rear I hope to distribute the load without cracking or otherwise interfering with the structural integrity of the soft pine ( or at least I hope hope so anyway).

I have an Ikea chest for my crafting supplies, and it needs to get moved around my crafting room. They were just what I was looking for. They work beautifully. Now I have a new chest for my crafting room that needs the same set up!

what are the dimensions of the bracket? width? height? position of the two exterior holes on the bracket from bottom to top ? ie 1st hole 1/4 inch off the bottom, 2nd hole 3/4 inch off the bottom. That sort of thing

BEST ANSWER:Bracket thickness where bolts go through is approx. 1/4". Bracket thickness where casters go through is 3/8". L-shaped bracket is 2-3/8" tall with the two bolt holes x 1-3/4" long with the caster hole and it has a lip that fits under the wood edge that is 1/4". The outside bracket is 2-3/8" high with two bolt holes and has a lip that fits under the wood edge that is 1/4". All bracket parts are 1-1/2"wide.

I want to thank you for getting back to me. I have a new unfinished pine pantry/ jelly cabinet sitting on its top in my living room right now. It's legs are made up of the sides and the front piece shaped to form legs. I want to put this up on casters and my concern is how to maintain the structural integrity if I have to drill holes into the soft pine. With your dimensions I will have just enough room width wise and if I enclose the area in a metal L shaped cup in the front and a rectangular cup in the rear I think I can distribute the load over the entire mass of the foot portion if that makes sense.

Reviews

The product does EXACTLY what it says it should do. I have a 2x4 constructed bench that I wanted to make mobile. These brackets provided me with a solid wont split wood solution.My only critique is that I needed to go buy longer screws to get the brackets to work with 2x4's.

Very well designed brackets. They hold onto the plywood sides of my homemade router table very well. I like the way they are designed like small &quot;L&quot;s so that the sides sit on them and do not soley rely on the bolts for support. The brackets and casters together add 3 1/2 inches to the overall height of the table. The brackets came with nuts, bolt and lock washers. Shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition as always - Thanks Rockler.

Excellent, except: what kind of sadist provides 1/4&quot;-20 nuts and bolts with 10mm hexes? I spent about 10 minutes trying to find a wrench that would fit before I realized that only a metric wrench would work. The bolts are not M6 and the nuts go just fine onto my 1/4&quot;-20 bolts.

I bought a desk that had the casters screwed into the particle board side panel that served as the desks' legs. The desk is pretty heavy, and when I moved it, the original caster bolts started splitting the wood and made the desk wobbly. These brackets completely solved my problem! With the extra support that the brackets provide, the desk is very sturdy and stable - no more wobbles. I would definitely recommend them.

The bracket set is well designed and nicely made. It came with bolts that are too short for a 2x4. Given the strength of the brackets, one might anticipate that bolts for a 2x4 mounting would be included or that barrel nuts would be supplied to make the shorter bolts &quot;universally&quot; useful. I also added washers.

Purchased a set over a year ago! Needed to buy longer bolts to attach to my table legs, but not a big deal. Had been very happy with the product. Today, one bracket snapped while my wife was moving the table out of her way. Don't know what the official weight limit is on this, but it apparently can't handle a table saw for an extended period of time.

Product not designed for medium to heavy loads, this is a light duty product.&nbsp; I attached these to my work bench and they appeared to work great. No stress issues, the bench rolled great. however, when&nbsp;I put some load on one end to test the benchs stability, i.e. to ensure it had a wide enough base, slip, roll or otherwish fail. One of the brackets failed and sheared right off, collapsing the bench. Total weight applied was my body wieght 200lbs on the corner that sheared.

I purchased a factory made unfinished pine pantry that I wanted to put up on wheels. Because it was constructed of glued together pine boards and held together with wood screws its legs were formed by shaping the front and sides making it not a candidate for regular stem casters.Tthe manufacturer. did not use any glue to hold the front and side panels together so l was concerned there would be inadequate support for the front panel which holds the doors, when it was up on wheels, I needed to supplement the Rockler assy. with some sort of support for the weight of the front. Custom made sheet metal cups for the l shaped front and rear "Legs" were cost prohibitive so I wound up cutting some L shaped and rectangular 1/4 inch steel plate pieces and using them under both the front and rear legs to distribute the front weight to the side supported brackets. Maybe overkill but that is often my middle name. Everything is painted flat black to match the antique walnut stain. Looks almost elegant and moves like a breeze on the kitchen floor. Great product and easy to install.

These brackets are the perfect solution for adding casters to my wife's new sewing cabinet!! When a piece of furniture needs to be mobile and has some weight to it this bracket design worked perfectly.

I rated these brackets at only 4 stars because I had to go to the hardware store and get bolts long enough to mount them on the 2X4 legs of my router table. The included bolts were too short. Otherwise, the brackets accepted 3" stem casters with no problem and appear to be rugged enough to stand up to shop use.
